PRAISE FOR REAP THE WIND:

“Reap the Wind is a bold, bracing and blisteringly original take on the legal thriller form. Joel Burcat has fashioned a seminal tale focusing on the nightmare of all road trips in which a storm raging outside the car is matched only by the storm raging within. Burcat dares to tread on the hallowed ground of John Grisham and Scott Turow and ends up blazing a fresh, daring literary tale of his own. Not to be missed!”

Notable Quotables

from Reap the Wind

by Joel Burcat

I’d once been told by a senior partner that making partner at our law firm was a “vicious meritocracy.” Bullshit. It was more like rushing a fraternity. Even today. One blackball and you were screwed. If one of the big guys didn’t like you, you had to hope that partner either retired or had a stroke. That’s the way it is. I don’t expect anyone to shed a tear for us. Associates in big law firms are overpaid crybabies. Truth.

I listen to a wide variety of sources and one podcast says it’s just good ol’ Mother Nature having fun with us. They say climate change, if it even exists, has nothing to do with this.” Stan managed a big folksy smile. “Take your pick folks,” he held up his mic and his free hand, palm up, exposing a handful of blood. He made the motion like he was weighing something in both. “Your call.” Bright weatherman smile.

“This is going to be awesome,” Geoff said looking forward, I assumed so Diane couldn’t read his lips. “The Lincoln Lawyers.”

Awesome, indeed. “All-righty then,” I said. “Giddy up.”

The highway department seemed to be playing a losing game of whack-a-mole with the tree limbs.

Diane shrugged. “Whatever. You’re just a real estate lawyer. What do you know? How to lease a shopping center? Asking you about climate change would be like asking a urologist about brain surgery.”
